DCM -in the wardrobe

Inspiration from the wardrobe was this weeks dare. I love blues & greens so naturally these translated into my cards this week! The above is a top & below is a neckace I made at our Scrap Retreat last year - make & take run by the fabulous Nik (thanks Nik).

I had fun making this card with the blues & greens & experimenting with some new embossing powders (blue & holographic) as well as the embossing heat gun that I got with my FK award voucher (thanks for shopping for me Lynley). I stamped a catslife press 'dream' stamp in the middle & used a mod frame. Topped with a bazzill flower & MM gem sticker. the paisley stamp is a hero arts one.

I just used a square of left over paper for this one, inked the edges with blue versamark cube & cut the words with george in my cricut. I added some more MM gems on for interest - simple but appropriate for a 'sympathy' type card.

My remaining two children now have chicken pox (I'm pleased they both have it together!). I am at mums & will probably head home tomorrow - when they are perhaps less itchy.

There's going to be a UFO focussed chat @ SBO tonight - check the forum for info about a RAK relating to it....

Love these cards, the colours look so pretty and fresh.
The stamping and frame on the first one look great and I love that font you've used on the second.

Great cards, Lara. Hope the kids are better soon

Purging

The stuff can take over. My stuff was covering my work surface and much of the bedroom floor. I had to do a big sort out. I was brutal. Stuff...ready to go. I packaged it in some storage totes I had that needed a new home (I’m waiting for my new CTMH travel system to arrive) and listed it on s local trading site. It’s gone now. It doesn’t look pretty but I have a desk space and things are organised. The rest of my supplies now fit in this cupboard. Since the ‘purge’ I have had the space to create. It feels good and it’s great to be able to get to my desk. A few pages made since the tidy up...and a box of 20 cards!

my week so far...

This week is turning out great! Having time on Monday (Otago Anniversary Day) to scrap with Lynley was just the best beginning! Lynley was putting together some beginner class stuff that she intends to do soon – it looked great! I got home to an email from The Scrapbook Outlet NZ asking if I would be a casual/oncall designer for their Design Team – of course I accepted – can’t wait to learn from Rach , Donna & Shani! Then today I get an email from Jo (subeditor @ Up2Scrap ) accepting one of my submissions – I did send a few mind you so as you can imagine I’m buzzing! I have packaged the LO ready to send tomorrow after Playcentre. Need to get back to reality though – Mum & Dad’s 50th Birthday this weekend, have to work out what I’m going to say, sort some table decorations & not to mention some way of sharing pictures of them when I only have Friday night & Saturday to do it! Have to do some Playcentre Admin work this ev...
